Geriatric Psychiatry Board Review

Is Beat The Boards! different from other board reviews?

Yes, in three main ways:

1. Beat The Boards! board review is the most comprehensive option. More than just a Question Bank of practice questions, each course includes in-depth lectures in a familiar classroom setting presented by expert faculty. This means you get a topic-by-topic review of exactly what’s on the board exam in much greater detail than what you can get from QBank answer explanations.

2. Because the physician’s schedule is typically a hectic one, Beat The Boards! is optimized for on-the-go review. Components such as the audio-only lecture option, iOS and Andriod app for mobile review, and offline access capability, and a fully-illustrated board-mapped study guide make Beat The Boards! review easy to incorporate at any point in your daily routine.

3. The Triple Trust Guarantee not only gives you a full tuition* refund if you don’t pass the exam the first time after taking the course, but it also gives you an extra 10% AND allows you continued access until you pass, for free. This unprecedented guarantee serves to assure you of the confidence we have that Beat The Boards! content is exceptional.

*Tuition is defined as the amount you paid for your base course, and does not include optional course add-ons, such as purchase of online access extensions, and/or the live course attendance option (where available). If any promotional items, such as gift cards, are included with your purchase, the value of that promotional item will be deducted from your tuition.

Who produces Beat The Boards! Courses? Where do you get your faculty?

Beat The Boards! board review courses are produced by American Physician Institute for Advanced Professional Studies, LLC (API). API conducts dozens of courses and trains thousands of psychiatrists each year to pass their boards and stay up to date in their fields. Every single one of American Physician Institute‘s educational courses has full editorial independence, is free of pharmaceutical and industry sponsorship and is backed by an unbeatable guarantee.

Do you provide board review for other medical specialties?

Yes! In fact, we provide preparation for dozens of other specialty and subspecialty board exams. Check out www.AmericanPhysician.com for the full list.

Is it likely that my employer will cover my tuition?

Because all Beat The Boards! courses are approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™, it is likely that your tuition will be reimbursed. You may be surprised at how many residency and fellowship training programs, group practices, and other employers pay for or reimburse you for such Category 1 educational activities. After all, it’s in everyone’s best interests to have you board certified. It really pays to ask your training director, medical director or administrator if you are eligible because some training programs and employers do pay for board exam training. And, if you work for the Federal Government, American Physician Institute is a certified business in the System for Award Management (SAM) database and can accept government checks and credit cards.

Board Exam Results and The Triple Trust Guarantee

Is Beat The Boards! Geriatric Psychiatry review pass-guaranteed?

Yes, all full courses are pass-guaranteed, and backed by our Triple Trust Guarantee. At any time, you can view the Triple Trust Guarantee Terms & Conditions.

What does the Triple Trust Guarantee cover?

If you purchase a course with a “Triple Trust Guarantee” and then do not pass your board exam for which the course was intended, API will issue a 100% refund of your paid tuition*, plus an additional 10%, plus free subscription renewal. The guarantee expires in the event the exam for which this course is designed is no longer offered by the certifying board.

*  Tuition is defined as the amount you paid for your base course, and does not include optional course add-ons, such as purchase of online access extensions, and/or the live course attendance option (where available). If any promotional items, such as gift cards, are included with your purchase, the value of that promotional item will be deducted from your tuition.

The Triple Trust Guarantee sounds too good to be true—is it for real?

Yes, it’s completely real. Rest assured, API has always honored its guarantees and always will. The Triple Trust Guarantee is API’s way of demonstrating that it’s just as invested in your success as you are. After all, if you fail your board exam, API will pay a penalty. API will refund your course tuition in full, provide you with a bonus, and provide free subscription renewal. The guarantee ensures API doesn’t get paid for effort, only for passing results.

Does the Triple Trust Guarantee cover non-tuition course options and upgrades?

No. Course options and upgrades are non-tuition related. Therefore, these fees are not included in any guarantee-related refund payment made under the terms of the Triple Trust Guarantee.

What should I do if I don’t pass my board exam?

First, it’s important to remember that a non-passing result is not necessarily a reflection on your abilities as a psychiatrist. The way the ABPN tests you is not the same as the many ways you’re “tested” as a practicing psychiatrist.

"I have always used your courses with 100% success rate for my Adult, Geriatric and Consultation Liaison Psychiatry board exams. Lectures are thorough and comprehensive. QBanks are very useful in preparing for the actual exam with in-depth explanations about individual responses."

Naim Memon, MD, Beaumont, TX

"I would highly recommend this course for anyone who is preparing for an initial certification or re-certification in general psychiatry or geriatric psychiatry. I used these courses as a study tool for both initial certification exams and did not think twice about signing up again for my re-certification. I had been dreading studying for this exam for a long time but found the process to actually be enjoyable. The lecturers, especially Dr. Jack have a way of simplifying complex topics and making them more understandable. The practice questions did a great job of tying together concepts. The explanations for each question were succinct yet inclusive. This course not only helped me to pass my dual re-certification exam, it also helped me to be a better psychiatrist for my patients. I would highly recommend this course to anyone preparing for an ABPN general or geriatric psychiatry certification or re-certification exam!"

Todd Derreberry, MD, Winston-Salem, NC

"This was a great course and I used it successfully to pass my initial GeroPsych boards and now my combo recertification. The lectures are easy to listen to and questions very solid and similar to the actual test. I highly recommend BeatTheBoards! to my colleagues."

Zach Morairty, MD, Twin Falls, ID

“I found Dr. Krasuski’s presentations to be well-researched, thorough, pertinent and structured in a way that aided in remembering important details. I passed the geriatric psychiatry board exam with flying colors, thanks to the excellent team at the American Physician Institute.”

M. Sethi, MD, Millburn, NJ

"I am still awaiting result but I am very confident that I should pass it. The Geriatric Psychiatry Board Review Course helped me lot. This course is not only very comprehensive , it also orients us how to test our knowledge after acquiring it. There are many topics which are tested in exam but they may not be in our radar when simply studying a text book. Most candidates who did not take course would only know during test that a significant part is comprised of Neurology questions . Overall it is very good course to pass the exam and acquire knowledge."

Javed Ghani, MD, Saint James, NY

“Thank you, Dr. Krasuski for putting this education program together and helping me prepare for this difficult exam. I’m writing this knowing already that I’ve passed the boards. Thank you for your help.”

“I wanted to thank you for the excellent Geriatric Psychiatry Board Review Course that was so helpful in my studying for the geriatric psychiatry recertification examination. The test was a very difficult one, and the video lectures and accompanying notebooks were extraordinarily beneficial. The very best lectures were the ones involving dementia/neurocognitive disorder, where you tied together anatomy, functional circuitry, symptoms, syndromes, and diagnoses. It makes a lot more sense to me now than it ever has before. I'm glad that I have the notebooks to refer to in the future. The test was a very difficult one, and let me reiterate it was very difficult. Your help was invaluable. My score was 87 and passing was 71, and I'm relieved that the damnable thing is now behind me. Thank you,”

Jeffrey Danziger, MD, Maitland, FL
